Homelessness has reached a crisis level in many communities across the country. People will risk everything, including refusing shelter and services or stay in dangerous situations, to remain with their pet with them. The presentation will discuss the state of homelessness nationally, unpack the homelessness crisis response systems in the US, and examine areas where animal welfare organizations can participate. We will also provide examples and lessons learned from collaborative projects that bridge the gaps between human and animal welfare services.

 

Intended audience: Frontline Staff, Middle Management, Senior Management/CEO, Board Members, Volunteers
